Profile of a Successful Student
Part1
A successful student…
… Takes responsibility
for his/her own learning
Online learning can be a powerful, stimulating, engaging
experience for the student who can world and think independently. However,
since most-if not all-of the learning takes place on your own time, you will
not have the kind of direct supervision you would in a classroom. Online
learning therefore requires a significant commitment from you. All education
comes down to what you’re willing in the experience-this is particularly true
in the online environment. Commitment, self-discipline and self-motivation are
all key qualities to ensuring success in an online course!
… Is comfortable and
confident written communication
Reading and writing are the basis of most online courses, so
it’s critical that you feel comfortable with this form of communication. While
some courses contain modules that include videos or other activities, all of
them require significant amounts of reading. Nearly all of your communication
with your classmates and your instructor will be in writing. If these are weak
areas for you, you will want to address those issues prior to enrolling or
while enrolled in an online course. The PSU Writing
Center is available to assist you.

member of an online community
